Just some notes about my results with this compound:
-Unlike some sources may imply, it is soluble in water, not just in ethanol.
-Reasonably fast evaporation results in an thick goo, which then solidifies into an glassy-looking solid.
-Very slow evaporation gives small, thin, plate-like crystals, which sadly are too fragile to move around with pincers.
Overall, I got no results worth posting pictures of.
However, there apparently exist salts of the trinuclear iron complex with other anions, which replace the seventh acetate ion. I'm planning to try some of those next.

Hi! I'm not really a woodworker but I made this house a month ago in a couple days and I decided to use iron acetate to give it an aged look so birds consider using it earlier (they dont like artificial looking, freshly cut wood).
Does staining with iron like this protect your wood in your experience? Any organic stain would struggle to survive under the UV radiation from the sun but since part of the staining compound (iron tannate) is inorganic and inmune to sun damage... I have a rough idea of what should happen but I want to hear from you. Cheers!
Edit: I've also read a paper saying that in very long term applications the stain actually damages the surface of the object itself through metallic oxidation but I'm fine with that as long as it protects from UV in the short term
I see iron 2 acetate as a substitute for lead acetate, in the phenylacetic acid to p2p route. Does this actually work?
With the release of Group Ironman tons of players were preoccupied anyway. Delaying Leagues III would have been a good call although a bit controversial. Guess we'll never know now.
Just think of all the time they'd have to ensure a flawless launch though.
So this is just out of curiosity - I picked up a BBQ from a friend that had rusty screws, so I put them into household vinegar (about 5% acetic acid) and after a few days a bubbly, kind of slimy precipitate had formed. I was wondering if this was ferric acetate, or something else perhaps?
I'm attempting make iron acetate solution for treating some of my spoons but the steel wool won't dissolve in the vinegar. I am using common white vinegar and non-stainless steel wool. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
It doesn't make sense. This dude has won at LEAST 5,000 games. I've won 106. ???????? gee I wonder who's gonna win. If I'm in Iron, put me against people in Iron. If they aren't in Iron, don't fucking put us together. If I'm clearly too good for Iron, I'll rise up real fast because I'll win the majority of my games. If I'm too bad for Iron, It's gonna be a slow climb since I'm clearly gonna lose the majority of my games.
